Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

We acknowledge the value of providing opportunities for students to build upon their prior learning, irrespective of whether their learning was acquired via structured courses or through work experience.

Kaplan Business School is able to grant subject exemptions for up to 67% of the course into which you enrol. Your eligibility and quantity of exemptions will be determined by a number of factors such as the similarity of your prior qualifications with your course at KBS and their equivalence with the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).

Our terms and conditions in this regard can be found in our Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Policy.

Information about articulation agreements can be found at the bottom of this page.

You may be entitled to more subject exemptions pending a full RPL assessment.
